I would stay clear away from the replica wheels. Though they may look good and are cheap, they are not Load Rated for shear weight of the Gwagen and will bend & crack easily under the pressure.

I did a lot of research when I was looking for wheels about 6 months ago and the Load Rating was a very common issue with many manufacturers, not just the cheap China made replicas.

By coincidence these are the wheels that I bought. I have received them and mounted them on my G500. I have a little over a 100 miles on them and so far these wheels have been great. I put 275/55/20 Hanook Dynapro ATMs on them.

I also have them on a 2013 G550 with 275/50/20 Pirellis on them.

Just curious how these wheels have held up for you. I've only heard to stay away from these replicas because they weren't properly load rated.

I love these wheels. I have approximately 6,000 miles on them and about 2,000miles on the 2013 G550 . I highly recommend them.

Why would you get a G-Wagon only to outfit it with counterfeit parts?
